Leptospirosis‐induced purpura: An atypical manifestation of Weil's disease

Abstract Purpura is a rare but documented presenting feature of severe leptospirosis. We describe a case of Weil's disease characterized by predominating coagulopathy and hepato‐nephritis. We illustrate dynamic changes in cutaneous lesions.
